Reports Report 1362i (Event 1362-2011)

Observer
Name Michael A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I called Fox news and they made note of it. I later called King 5 in Seattle to report the fireball and they said that they had had other sightings. I have seen shooting stars before and this was nothing like that. It was a large fireball with a flaming tail and It seemed low in the sky. I reported it because I felt that when it landed it may have done some damage or it could have hurt someone. It was unbelievable. I was looking to the south and it traveled from the west to the east.
